A Thai woman is one of Thailand representative known among the visitors to Thailand. There are good points and bad points when speaking about Thai women. Nowadays, with specifically to the narrowing world and fast in communication with the Jet flight, and high technology like the Internet, the Thai women become one object for visiting Thailand. The culture and economy are the contradict factors that turn numbers of Thai women, especially from the poverty in the rural and local areas, to be in the dark side with the need to better their livings. For that reason, the beautiful culture taught generation to generation for the Thai women to be aware of, has been left aside. It is pity when the culture and custom that forms the characteristic uniquely as a Thai woman has been neglected and this ignorant is being stretched wider to the teens. The strong tradition, custom and culture left, in general, for Thai woman unique characteristics, somewhat, remained, are knowing how to express respectable to the seniors, the respect in Buddhist religion, being grateful to the kindness received, and belief in the national pride.
Finally, one said on a page of a book entitled, “Thailand: Land of Beautiful Woman” that, somehow, the suspicious about the Thai woman can be concluded as follows.
“Thai women have entered the mainstream of nearly all aspects of life, including careers in business, the professions, and the arts. And in rural Thailand, they still build roads and houses, plant rice, care for silk worms, spin and weave, and, when necessary, perform jobs usually reserved for men. An advertisement for the Thai Farmers Bank summed it up nicely: “Traditionally the women of Thailand combine their grace and charm with strength of spirit and national pride: Femininity with a flair for commerce; gentleness with dedication to their chosen fields; achieving harmony in both the realms of home and office. Thailand is rightly proud of its women.””
